Flying Home


Introduction

Hi Folks, This week by popular demand we are learning the into I composed for the version of Flying Home I recorded with Herb Ellis. The first 8 bars are simple swing riffs all on the 1, then we play a diminished Arpeggio for 2 bars then resolve it with a two measure augmented arpeggio leading to the head.

Enjoy, Duke

Peter, Thats a good start. It sounds like you want to play it faster than your rhythm. You should try it a bit faster. Duke

Peter, Good question. In blues you can use it on the four chord. also in many progressions it works well on the one when going to a 2 minor 7 to 5. It would be 2 beats on 1 then 2 beats of a diminished scale going to the 2 chord. There ate many places a diminished can be used. Those a 2 examples. It makes a great passing chord in many places.

Hey Duke. I'm really enjoying the Flying Home lessons. Great intro.

Comments welcome.  

In case you're wondering, its a Charlie Christian Lollar. Have you tried them?

Good Job Steve! My only recomendation is that you make sure you take that pause going into the augmented riff. Otherwise you end up a beat short. Duke
